Smooth Sailing - We were four ladies on a five day wine country excursion. We decided to start it off with a flight over Mount St Helens. We had a smooth flight with Harris and would highly recommend him and the tour.

2nd ride - This was my husband I second ride with Envi. They were smooth and not much turbulence. I would pick do the Portland city tour if we ever return. We got lucky and had a clear day on both tours.

Breathtaking! An amazing experience and lovely pilot/guide. - I’m a bid mad on volcanoes and knowing there was no way I’d be able to hike up Mount St Helens to see it properly (maybe 30 years ago haha) we booked this air tour. It was absolutely brilliant. Lasted about an hour in total and our pilot & guide was amazing. So friendly and knowledgeable. He chatted to us throughout the trip and we got some amazing views of Mount St Helens as he circled around it. We just did the tour of the one volcano, but got to see many of the other volcanoes from a distance too including Mt Adams and Mt Rainer. The plane was small, but comfortable and the take offs and landings were very smooth. I’d never been in a small plane before, but absolutely loved the experience. Such amazing views! If we ever revisit Washington and Oregon I’d definitely do this again or one of the other tours they offer. Just breathtaking.
